I Bought/Tested Over 65 iPhone 12 Cases - Which Were Best?

We spent over $1300 dollars on iPhone 12 cases in the last month. Most of them were pretty bad. Some were great. Which ones were best?

With the up-designed iPhone 12, we had to adjust our scoring system. We've put more emphasis on using the iPhone 12 and little less on durability given that the iPhone 12 is the toughest iPhone to date.

Here's are the power rankings along with our affiliate links as wells as codes that we've collected over the last few years:

We're reviewers, not influencers. No influencer is going to drop $1300 dollars on cases to figure out which one is best. Reviewers do that. This channel is un-sponsered, our videos are sponser-free and we plan on keeping it that way.

In this video:

0:00 Intro
0:48 Above Average Cases (7-10)
7:26 Pretty Great Cases (4-6)
12:52 Cream of the Crop Cases (2-3)
16:17 The Fallen
18:59 The Best of the Best

I do have to point out the cases that were proverbial residents on my Top 10 lists for years and after the iPhone 12, have fallen out of the top 10.

The first are the Grip cases from Speck. They’ve dropped down to #19. They’ve been updated for the iPhone 12 and instead of having grips on the cases being made from the grippy and semi-soft TPU material that cradles your iPhone, it’s now just extensions of the PC back.

Which means this case now slides around almost like an air hockey puck and the ribs on the case are hard which makes the case feel way too abrasive.

The second case that seems to make the Top 10 all the time is the Spigen Tough Armor. It’s #11 so it barely make the cut.

The Tough Armor is still a great case. Handles decently, is tough BUT the Apple Silicone case beats it out because you can use the Magsafe features on the iPhone 12.

Other notable cases that didn’t make the Top 10 cut include the Magbak due to build quality issues, the Raptic Lux because dropping a case with a metal bumper is terrible, and the Tech 21 Evo Check because it comes off like an old sock.

Do I sound annoyed? It’s because I am because dropping $100’s of dollars on cases that are terrible, is a really hard thing to do. Stuff like this Mellow case that cost more than my #1 case and doesn’t fit my iPhone properly, or having to pay shipping and custom fees to bring over the Incipio case that handles like a wet bar of soap.

this guy puts the most effort into reviews. Nobody else sections off the videos for us to be able to find the content we want quicker.

I love that dog. He’s such a good boy.

[ananda]

The amount attention Monty is showing is adorable. He’s just like my dog, always giving eye contact and turning the head side to side as if they understand what’s going on. Such a cutie❤️

[skyhawksever]

Thanks for the great reviews and thanks for sharing Monty with us. I have to admit though, my eyes filled with tears because Monty reminded me of my mini schnauzer who passed away a few years ago. Such great dogs!

[Bobmrob]

Monty with his tie on looking cute is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

[rickykim]

Sorry, I didn’t hear a word you said, that dog had my attention the whole time!
Good review? Keep up the good work?

[halliedoyle]

Your reviews are awesome! I was so overwhelmed looking at reviews online on various sites and on Amazon. I never know if they are legit. Seeing all you go through to really test the items made it easy to choose a case, so I ended up buying the Mous case. Thank you so much. Oh, and Monty is a wonderful helper. He is like a human. I love how attentive he is...so cute! Thanks so much!

I see dog with a tie. I subscribe. I am a simple man.

4:15 Monty actually looking like he’s seriously considering buying a case for his iPhone 12 Pro 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[PatrickCruzromero]

The dog is so cute. He just sits there completely over this.

[urbanfarmstead]

THANK you for the great review and the discount on my Mous case!

[thedoctorjamie]

Pro: Really good review, clear, with great effort put into it. Con: Still have no idea after watching the whole review which case I want. :(

[maliciousmarka]

[brucetumblinjr]

I have the Mous Limitless 3.0 for my 11 Pro Max, so far no complaints!

[waxylungs]

[alfieheimr]

Best review I've ever seen. I was still dubious about which case would I need, but after seeing your video I went straight to order it. Then I found the surprise of the 20% discount!! New subscriber here. Thank you for your work.

[VanguardX]
